The Young and The Restless: nuAbby Poll!

Added freshness or same old, same old?

We’ve seen enough of the newest recast to be able to make a judgment on Miss Abby Carlton. Has the recast added some much needed freshness to the character? Are you excited for what’s to come? Or are you already sick of Abby’s same old bratty demeanor?

i liked the old Abby. the character is a bratt, and if it was the old sweet Abby who we are used to being so bratty, i don’t think i would hate it so much… butu sweet abby was replaced and all of a sudden her whole character is different. Hate when they change characters.

She is TOO OLD!!! The line is crazy, she has no loyalty not even to her sister!!! If she stays let her have an affair with Daniel, she went from hi-school, skipped COLLEGE and just to grown-up!!! Where is Noah and Eden they left for College and now she has passed them up in AGE!! Loving Victoria with Billy!!

I wish they’d never aged Abby to at all. Darcy Rose Byrne was an amazing little actress. Y&R ruined Abby by aging her to a teen. What a spoiled little brat. What do you expect from snobbish Ashley and millionaire Victor though? I loved when Daniel spanked her and said someone had to do it. That was great!! I am however enjoying her aging to early 20s. Still a brat, but this actress is great!

Groan – not another spoiled little rich girl grows up too fast (literally in this case!)Hate the character. Wish they would have kept her as the little girl -she was the best actress of the three,
And what is it with the voice? Yuck. Sounds like she & Eden have the same voice coach…are they trying to sound like valley girls or something. . it sounds awful.
Hate that they’ve made her an adult already, like others have said- how old will Eden & Noah be when they come back? In their 40′s?

I love the new Abbey, portrayed by the adorable Marcy Rylan, who I adored on Guiding Light.
I do not like the idea of her being paired with the Daniel character. In my opinion, he is no match for her at all. I see nothing appealing about this man. He always looks so dirty and not well groomed. She is too beautiful to be with him. I would love to see her with tall, handsome Chance. They were a duo on Guiding Light. Looked great together and what chemistry!

Can’t STAND that brat! She is way too old now compared to before the character was re-cast, and, as kamal toews said, how old will Eden and Noah be when they return from Paris? The children now are almost as old as their parents.

how long can she keep this bratty character up and can Ashley grow a backbone? what happened to fiesty Ashley? now she’s so fragile. what a twist in chararcters. i want the diva vixen to come back, the old Phyllis.

I have watched Y&R since I was a lil girl and I really have seen alot. But this new Abby I don’t really like her. She that same spoiled brat but the way she is acting is totally not cute. I think she is going over board with what she is trying to accomplish. It reeks of someone who is clearly dying for attention. And for her to be Ashley daughter is a big embarrassment

Love to hate this new character; she’s added some zest to the show. But please don’t let Daniel be ruined by her, how about Decon Sharp? An older man like him will really piss off Daddy. Ashley will not get any say in Abby’s life now that she has discredited herself by sleeping with Tucker while Neil is worrying about Lily, bad mom.

I think Marcy is a great fit. Didn’t like her character before, the last Aby was dull and couldn’t really act. I think Aby and Kevin could have something going for them. I really like Kevin since his reform.

The character is just not believable – she’s just too different from the old Abby, and what did they do – age her by about 5 years! Personally, I think they got the roles reversed. I think the new Heather would have made a better Abby and the new Abby would have made a better Heather.
